Harsha developed an automated periodic data refresh feature for the Election Night dashboard in the BPR-Data-Team/Election-Night repository. Using R Shiny and JavaScript, Harsha refactored the server-side logic to replace legacy event-driven updates with a reactive observer that refreshes datasets every two minutes. This approach enabled near real-time data updates, reducing manual intervention and improving dashboard reliability for election decision-making. The work focused on robust data management and real-time data handling, ensuring consistent and timely information delivery. Over the course of the month, Harsha’s engineering contributed depth by modernizing the dashboard’s update mechanism and enhancing its operational consistency.
